About IPSL.

How Does It Work?

The IPSL Annual Program shares conversations between former public sector leaders, politicians, academics and media experts about what it takes to be successful as a public sector leader in Canada .

​The IPSL Annual program is supported by an extensive Resource Room filled with articles, links, podcast interviews, video clips, and an E-HandBook companion guide to the program designed to reinforce and enrich your learning experience.

​All 8 recorded panel sessions + 4 bonus sessions are available to you in the Resource Room to watch whenever it's convenient for you. Your program registration includes access to the Resource Room available 24/7 for a full year from the day you register so there is lots of time for self-study and review.

"Asan aspiring ADM, and someone who wants to contribute to the best of my ability as an Executive Director, I can say that I was able to make use of the advice I heard after each session. I am more confident now as I interact with those at the political level because I was able to gain insight into what senior executives were thinking in real life situations. I recommend this program to those who are interested in a behind-the-scenes look at how this work is done by those with mastery in what to watch out for.”​ IPSL Program Graduate - Executive Director
